it has one of the best screen-to-body ratios, im sure you will like it

Good stuff

Coming from a Z3 Compact I'm hoping to enjoy a bit more screen real estate!

I wanted a black leather one, my wife got the red. However they only had the grey plastic type at the time I bought them both. Even when I needed to change mine for a phantom keypress fault they still only had one left in stock - another grey plastic. But by then I realised that I would be using a case anyway and so it didn't matter what colour back the phone had.

I found the phone slightly smaller than my Voda Ultra 6, but much better in all respects - especially the camera.

Ive had leather G4 in the past and always use a case, this time round i went for plastic back, either way you can pick up leather back from ebay if you wanted it

Good point re the leather case.
I ending up with one of those plastic clock cases which include the wireless charging pad fitted. It was very cheap and looks great, whilst protecting the phone.

I actually really dislike the black leather. It doesn't feel like leather at all. Bought the brown leather back and it's so much nicer.

reports from XDA say the black lasts longer and doesn't scuff as easy

swings and roundabouts, the Tan leather looks great though

Mine came with the Tan Leather but I have not used it as the phone is in a silicon skin case so I use the metal colour one.

It's such a thin bit of Leather stretched over a plastic case I found it a bit Naff tbh.

It does make sense that it lasts longer as it does feel a lot harder. This is good for longevity but poor IMO for feel.

I also prefer the look of the brown leather.

As you say, swings and roundabouts

Black one is holding up pretty good, seen some shots of the tan one that has come apart pretty badly.

Still, it's just a case so easy to change. I'll probably get a Qi loop stuck into mine.

On this subject, are there no third part backs you can buy? I thought that would be an obvious way to customise the phone being that it has a removable back but can't see anyone selling them, just normal cases or original backs?

Just wondered as I don't like any of the original backs and wouldn't want the bulk of a case.

I spoke to an advisor who said ETA was 1-2 weeks on them being back in stock at Vodaphone ;(

Just updated mine to M6 via LG Bridge. The Vodafone deal sealed the deal for me!

Did you buy it before it went out of stock or did you acquire it recently?

Got a tripod coming for mine tomorrow, going to see what kind of shots i can get with manual settings.

I got mine in-store last Monday.

LeMaltor · 7 Jan 2016 at 13:55

Got one this morning, just passing a store, went in and asked they said they had 2, bought one and some other bloke overheard as I was buying and bought the other one. Website said no stock but I thought i would ask as I was passing anyway. Not opened it yet will report back later, I don't even know what colour it is lol

Got a link for that m8? Was only thinking about a small tripod for desk use the other day. Camera shots are awesome

I got the "Large with Phone holder" model. Build quality is pretty good for £12.99.

Hmmm, I didn't even bother in store having checked on the website. Might nip into town tomorrow on the off chance.

Think I'll have to go for this phone at the weekend. I just can't justify 200 for forward facing speakers! On the 6p
